VoIP Is Evolving

Voice over Internet technology (VoIP) is constantly evolving, according to the head of a technology firm.

Dan Hoffman, chief executive of M5 Networks, stated that VoIP technology is still changing and developing in order to meet consumer expectations. Speaking to the Daily Herald, Mr. Hoffman compared newer forms of VoIP technology to the difference between TiVo and a VCR. He said, "With the VCR, you have to do everything that's needed to record a show, click the buttons and insert the tape. "With TiVo, it was one click - we're that one click."

Since the systems are now improving and offering better sound quality and ease of use, more service providers are marketing the technology, including Skype and AT&T. M5 Networks has also entered the market and provides all the hardware, software and maintenance necessary to operate the systems, which allows consumers to avoid dealing with different providers.

"Soon you'll see VoIP and other types of IP communications being embedded directly into business software," states Mark Weibel, EVP of Marketing for Broadband National, who operates the industries leading comparative shopping website. "This will aid in the expansion of future applications that businesses require."
